Hi,
I hope you're well. I wanted to mention a couple of things!
Our latest comic Kickstarter is live and fully funded!
Powers Fearful and Divine has Houdini, Lovecraft and Conan Doyle battle for control of the 20th century, embodied by a twisted, half-mechanical Victor Frankenstein.
There's only a few hours left to grab the early-bird offers (ends at midnight tonight (BST)).
If you'd like to back us, click the image above or the link below!

Additional Be Drawn in the Book Reward

Hi,
I hope you're well.
I've added an additional 10 x 'Visibly Decorated Sniper-Buller Stopper' reward, because I believe a few of the backers at this tier won't go through when it comes to charging. This is the tier where you get to be drawn into the book as an Innsmouth resident!
So, if that's something which might be of interest, take a look!
Speak soon and stay safe,

🎲 Monthly Gamebook Adventures on Substack!
over 2 years ago

Hi there,
I hope you're well. I'm currently on holiday (yeah, great timing!), and whilst I come up with some useful and achievable stretch goals for the campaign, I wanted to let you know about something that's arriving very soon!
A Branching Narrative on Substack
As a backer of a Blue Fox Gamebook, I'm letting you know that I'm starting a Substack entitled A Branching Narrative.
Why Substack?
I've been thinking about creating an interactive-fiction based Patreon for a while, but the interface has struck me as a little confusing, and recently Substack has come to my attention, and, after looking into it, I think it works better for me.
What is 'A Branching Narrative'?
Every month I will be creating a new 125+ paragraph adventure for you to enjoy, with rules similar, but not restricted by, the rules in place for my other gamebooks.
Substack allows subscribers to have a free plan and a paid for plan.
- Everyone on the free plan will receive the first room on the monthly adventure (25+ paragraphs), plus they will receive an overview post on the why and how of creating the adventure
- Everyone who chooses the paid-for plan will receive the full adventure (125+ paragraphs), plus they will receive an in-depth post on the why and how of creating the adventure
- There is also a founding member option, who will receive 1 extra adventure (125+ paragraphs) per year
The paid-for plan is $7 a month, or $70 per year.
Some of you may have heard some negative news about Substack recently. I looked into it (I don't want to approach anything on the internet lightly) and was eventually swayed by James Tynion IV's post. You can read it here.
Opening Offer
We are running an opening offer of 20% off all subscriptions until the 9th September. To access the offer click the link below.

My initial posts are up on the site - to take a look, click the URL below.
If you know people who might be interested, I'd really appreciate a social-share.

What sort of adventures?
I'll be creating a whole load of one-off adventures in multiple genres including fantasy, sci-fi and horror (with some familiar settings...). I am planning on revisiting a location of Lovecraft's for one of the first adventures.
When will they post?
The first adventure will post on Friday September 10th 2021, and is called 'The Watchtower'.
I hope this sounds interesting to you - please let me know your thoughts and questions so I can better prepare everyone for 'A Branching Narrative'.
Speak soon and stay safe,

New Stretch Goal!

Hi,
I hope you're well.
One day I will definitely catch up with these stretch goals.
Following on from a backer suggestion, our next stretch goal is a stat tracker bookmark!
As you can see, it's already unlocked, so every physical backer will get one! If you think you might need more, they're also available as an add-on.
Let me know what you think!
Speak soon,
Simon
